Memory device

Disclosed are a phase change memory with improved retention characteristic of a phase change device, and a method for refreshing the phase change memory. The fact that a memory is a DRAM interface compatible memory is exploited. There are provided dummy cells stressed in accordance with the number of times of read and write operations. Changes in the resistance value of the dummy cells are detected by comparator circuits. If the resistance value have been changed beyond a predetermined reference value (that is, changed to a low resistance), a refresh request circuit requests an internal circuit, not shown, to effect refreshing. The memory cells and the dummy cells are transitorily refreshed and correction is made for variations in the programmed resistance value of the phase change devices to assure the margin as well as to improve retention characteristic.

Treatment of CNS disorders associated with mutations in genes encoding lysosomal enzymes

Described is a method for treating an individual having a neurological disorder with an associated mutation or mutations in a gene encoding a lysosomal enzyme. Specifically, the individual is administered a specific pharmacological chaperone for the lysosomal enzyme which increases trafficking of the protein from the ER to the lysosome in neural cells, with or without concomitantly increasing enzyme activity in neural cells. Restoration of trafficking relieves cell stress and other toxicities associated with accumulation of mutant proteins. Restoration of enzyme activity relieves substrate accumulation and pathologies associated with lipid accumulation. In a specific embodiment, the neurological disorder is Parkinson's disease or parkinsonism which is associated with mutations in glucocerebrosidase.

Uses of labeled hsp90 inhibitors

The disclosure provides evidence that the abundance of this particular “oncogenic HSP90” species, which is not dictated by HSP90 expression alone, predicts for sensitivity to HSP90 inhibition therapy, and thus is a biomarker for HSP90 therapy. The disclosure also provides evidence that identifying and measuring the abundance of this oncogenic HSP90 species in tumors predicts of response to HSP90 therapy. “Oncogenic HSP90” is defined herein as the HSP90 fraction that represents a cell stress specific form of chaperone complex, that is expanded and constitutively maintained in the tumor cell context, and that may execute functions necessary to maintain the malignant phenotype. Such roles are not only to regulate the folding of overexpressed (i.e. HER2), mutated (i.e. mB-Raf) or chimeric proteins (i.e. Bcr-Abl), but also to facilitate scaffolding and complex formation of molecules involved in aberrantly activated signaling complexes (i.e. STATS, BCL6).
